In addition to the stories you know and love, this book has an extensive introduction and afterward, lots of annotations (as you would expect from the title...) and a ton of artwork from previous illustrated editions, artists from the MENAHT region, stage and film productions, artifacts, etc etc.
No, this isn't the sort of book you can easily throw in your bag to go to the coffee shop or beach, but it's an entertaining-yet-scholarly read that rewards you for being willing to bear the weight of its 700+ pages and hardback cover.
Minor: Sexual content, Racism, Xenophobia, Antisemitism, Sexism, Animal death, Death, and Death of parent
